Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9108990A1] A composition, suitable for use as a base in the construction of roads, and other areas, is formulated from an ash-aggregate comprising municipal solid waste incinerator ash, MSWIA, mixed with an aggregate material. Upon the addition of cement, compaction, and curing, a volumetrically stable solid is formed. All particles greater than 3/8'' are removed from the ash-aggregate material prior to the addition of cement. The stable solids immobilize heavy metals in the MSWIA. Incinerator ash, sufficiently small to fit through two inch screen (1) passes into ash bin (3). Belt (5) carries the ash (4) toward mixing chamber (10). This feeds on to screen (26). Streams (34) and (50) are combined in bin (54) and cement (60) is added. The combination is mixed, (72) and is ready for transport.
